Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the search for a reliable technical French-English mathematics dictionary, with a specific focus on the translation of mathematical terms. Participants seek both specific translations and a broader resource for technical terminology.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for a technical French-English math dictionary, noting that many available resources are non-technical.
  • Another participant provides the translation of "sheaf" as "faisceau."
  • A participant inquires about the translation of "kernel," suggesting that "noyau" is the correct term.
  • A subsequent reply confirms that "noyau" does indeed mean "kernel."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the translations provided, but the broader discussion about the availability of technical dictionaries remains open and unresolved.

I'm looking for a good technical French-English math dictionary (preferably online). I've found a number, but most them are pretty non-technical. The word I'm looking for most immediately is "sheaf," if anyone knows the translation, but it'd be nice to have a more general resource in any case. Any suggestions?

sheaf = faisceau
 
Merci, micro! Et je déduis que 'noyau' veut dire 'kernel;' c'est vrai?
 
C'est vrai!
